Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania
I think the PA thing is far bigger then semi-auto. I think we have bigger problems to solve as a hunting culture in PA. Also a huge difference between not voting for it and blocking it. I won't block it. I just as an initial thought wouldnt vote for it. Its not about the gun. Its about the...- Nuts

Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania
As a life long PA resident I dont advocate semi auto rifles in PA. Our tradition of deer and bear drives and the next generation of xboxers is not a great combo that needs semiautomatic added. I think there is quite a few responsible folks that could use them with no issue. I also think there...- Nuts

. Rifle Cleaning Frequency in the Field
Depends on where I am at and what I am doing. Hunting old burns leaves ash on the gun. It needs cleaned off fairly often. I have a ruger alaskan with black that was not cleaned off till after we got back to civilization and it is permanent now despite working at cleaning it pretty good... -
Anyone Using Mapping Apps Offline in Deep Backcountry?
2nd onx. Use it offline regularly. Does everything I want it to. My only complaint if I had one is one of the places I have offline is north of Fairbanks and there is a sat image overlap line very close to where I want to be. It makes some detail hard to see. -
Bear Encounters
What was your coolest/best/worst bear encounter? Black or grizzly. Here is mine. Alaska near Valdez fishing 6 years ago. A sow grizzly with an older cub suddenly appeared in the open 50yds away. We stood quietly and watched. Very cool. Focused on eating. No danger. Suddenly a giant...- Nuts

Afraid of the dark??
For those who have heard it I believe most would agree that a Bobcat scream is the scariest sound in the woods. Its sounds like a woman being brutally murdered. The first time I heard it was 30years ago sitting at a campfire with my wife. There was no google and I had know idea that sound...- Nuts

Camping trip incident
You made the right call 100% Family along changes priorities. Either way leaving is rarely a bad choice. I am a strong believer in not being a tough guy, appear harmless and nonthreatening. Talk softly. Deescilate. What happens when all else fails and there is no other option. Few will...- Nuts

Afraid of the dark??
My neighbors know who takes the dogs out at night for this reason. Lights on wife. All lights turned off. Pause to acclimate so I can see its me. No matter how many times I tell my wife she only cares about what's lit up. I prefer a bigger picture.- Nuts

I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.
Tikka vote here. Although I would add a caution. I had one in 300WSM. While in a remote setting I broke it down and cleaned it after rubbing up against some old fire trees. I had the bolt out and twisted or did something that clicked. I could not get the bolt back in the rifle. I could not... -
Afraid of the dark??
As I looked back on my experiences in the dark I do now recall (2) times I was worried/afraid. 1) I was archery hunting in the suburbs. And isolated 100acre patch of woods. I was at the base of the tree setting up my climber when a helicopter began searching the same woods. Obviously they...- Nuts
